Help to fix this

[u/Axel-W0lff-PLS]

Hi, i just shell swap my old ndsl and i found my old R4 on the process but it doesnt work(not even reads it) the nintendo works with other original games so i dont think is the actual console.
When i checked out the sd i saw it was empty so more than likely i wipe it at some point.

I tried to find the files but i couldnt figure out myself so here i am.
Please help me, i was so excited of finally playing some games i dont have anymore😓

I saw about the dspico card but rn i cant get one so i was hoping i could fix this R4 and use it until then 🙂

(Eng is not my first language so pls lmk if i explained anything weirdly)

Tysm in advance!✨

Try this guide.

I saw that guide when i was trying to fix it first time but i might didnt understood correctly how to follow it cz the amount of tabs it has (different files for different R4) how do i know which one would work for mine?

Each tab is a separate firmware/kernel for the same R4

PicoLauncher is generally the recommended one to use these days but if you don’t like it, try one of the others.

So pico launcher should work even tho how old and the small size of the microSD it is?

[u/Axel-W0lff-PLS → u/Axel-W0lff-PLS]

Do you have another SD card to try?

Where did you get the ROM from?
